paintings
These large scale paintings transform spaces. Fascinating juxtapositions of opposing textures in maximalist patterned landscapes abound. There might be shiny passages of gold leaf traversing across matte rugged concrete, or sequins buried in venetian plaster. They are archeological studies, inspired by the impression of time on everyday urban spaces. Graffiti on a hundred year old underpass wall which has been destroyed and created anew, or a tattered layered silk remnant reimagined as pattern stamped on wax. They are magical to engage with from varying angles, and they transform into an entirely new painting as the light changes throughout the day and night.

This painting incorporates layers of more colorful graffiti with large watercolor passages and bold strokes of paint. The unifying layers of neutrals and softer tones reveal only small sections of the brighter underneath colors. The horizontal crossing out or wiping serves to document the history of the edits. Splatters punctuate the spray and the words both, and the movement of the varying trajectories of paint in the swirls of water display the ebb and flow of the pigment.
